Silt Striders are really big.

Bioshock. Too many biogames.

Biohazard?

You can’t mess with perfection. Chrono Trigger is still amazing.

There was a dos 4x game by logic factory called Ascendency. It was similar to Stellaris but more turn based and has a much more manageable interface. I really enjoyed the game mechanics and game races, which were all very unique. Id love to see it rebooted, but at least I can still play the original on dosbox.

I always find massive fan projects like this fascinating. You’re putting all the effort it would take to create a brand new game and releasing thousands upon thousands of hours of work with no way to recoup your time or money spent. It’s hilariously a true love letter to Bethesda and the world they created while also making them look bad for having not released ES VI in the time it took a homebrew team to completely make an ES game.

It really is a level design thing. Half the challenge of reactionary play in classic 2D sonic games is not being able to see what’s coming until the last minute. Looks pretty nice overall. Looking forward to it.
